The DK Gorilla Project[edit]
The DK Gorilla Project was a six-part series. It was a parody of the horror film The Blair Witch Project, and revolved around a group of friends with VHS cameras trying to find Donkey Kong. The group found clues such as bananas which led them to a cabin where they found a developer playing Donkey Kong 64 in the basement, with the friends also playing Donkey Kong 64 at the end of the series. Like the original film, the series used the found footage cinematic technique to film the episodes. New episodes appeared every week.[2]
